Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I hear a clicking sound in my ears since the last three to four months. When I put my fingers inside my ears, a brown sticky substance comes out. The clicking sound does not come on its own, but it comes when I focus on it too much, although I have no earache.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
From your history, it can either be due to wax impaction or it can be due to a defect in your eustachian tube functioning which is causing pressure differences in your ear and may cause fluid collection, or tinnitus. But to confirm this, you need a personal consultation with your ENT (ear, nose, and throat specialist). You might need a PTA (pure tone audiometry) and impedance audiometry test if it is not a wax impaction. Hope that helps you.
